second poetry festival francophone youth
An explosion of lights and talents
emphasize youth participation in countries where French is far from being the first language, such as Macedonia and the Czech Republic.
Note also the massive influx of young poets from Africa: Cameroon, Gabon, Niger, Togo and Cote d'Ivoire.
Each poet, inspired by its culture and its daily life, has passed on to readers the expression of his inner life and emotions through poems and felt very amazed by creating a small tug at my heart and admiration . During this 2nd
Festival this poetic fireworks again caused the replica of seniors, generally in another country. This attentive listening, a soul to another, has allowed an immense wealth of twists that set the look and attention to the values that connect generations and cultures.
It is certain that some readers, this depth traces of happiness, sadness, sorrow, a bittersweet smile, almost crying, often with admiration, sometimes rebellion, always love .
As the eyes of seniors often want calm, to calm the revolt they feel dawning youth, sometimes their words acids soften and brown color with time, their vision a bit catastrophic monde.Quelle complementarity!
Thus, through this desire to bring seniors relief, love, a tender look mixed with a touch of humor and madness, there is not only the expression an open heart and mind, but very often of great poetry.
And what about those illustrations done by some young poets themselves or more often by other young people from another country? These paintings add a visual dimension to poetry to clarify, amplify, illustrate the words, spaces and non color - themselves. Really, poets and illustrators of the 2nd Festival have worked remarkably well together, to make these works of art triptychs of immense wealth.
This year, this splendid achievement, under the banner of La Francophonie was held, not only at the five participating cities, like last year, but on four continents, thanks to the tremendous work Coordination and Public Affairs Marie-Claude de Souza who has given freely, to gather all these works and making regular collaborators in different countries. Bravo Marie-Claude! The ACLJ
